Watch The Prestige

Oops...

Something went wrong.

Try again later.

Set in 1878, the movie follows two young stage magicians who are obsessed with creating the best stage illusion. The tricks, as shown to the audience, look the same, but neither magician can figure out how his opponent does it.

The film is never less than engaging, though considering that the title The Prestige refers to the moment in a magic act that gives it its "wow" factor, it's kind of a shame that the ultimate "reveal" in the movie is a little too tricky for its own good.
